  1. Great stuff, thanks Raf! Obviously Ruffalo and Downey have made the roles their own, so much so that it's difficult to picture anyone else playing them, but I actually think Jeff Goldblum as Banner and Sam Rockwell as Stark would have been amazing.

    As tiresome as Timmy's unfounded arrogance and 'proper football man' shtick could be, his record in the Premier League was ultimately pretty decent. Still, he presumably knew the score when he took over and will almost certainly walk into another job as a result of being gifted that initial chance. Such a shame for the hack pack that Stuart Pearce is taking charge at the City Ground next year, they'd have loved the sound of 'Sherwood Forest'.

    Thanks Fred! When I apply for the various real-life Premier League vacancies this summer, I'll be using that very screenshot in my CV.

    England squad more or less as expected, with a stand-by list of Carrick, Cleverley, Flanagan, Stones, Ruddy, Defoe and Carroll. Fingers crossed that nobody gets injured, then!

    Always got the impression that Lerner's heart was in the right place, but there must come a point where pumping money into your club year in, year out and seeing little in the way of significant progress starts to feel rather futile. We may well experience a similar realisation from Ellis Short in the not-too-distant future if we don't start getting our act together fairly soon. Is there a potential buyer on the horizon or is it simply a case of keeping the seat warm until one comes along?

    I've clearly underestimated Bruce Springsteen's popularity in Hull. Unless... ...nah.

    A 14th-place finish, then. Lower mid-table obscurity, how frightfully dull.

    Is the correct answer!

    Ran this one through GIS, and I think we're safe. Guess away!
  10. A spot of interesting info on Quick-Ass and Scarlet Witch’s backstory in here...
  11. Yeah, curious one that. Hannah's is the only small part listed (probably safe to assume it's a pretty modest role if the character doesn't have a name) on the page.

    Sounds good to me. Second and final attempt (it'll have to be, I don't think I know any other Greek movies). Dogtooth?

    It's easy to be wise after the fact, I suppose, but sometimes it's quite a lot of fun too.

  17. Hello, good evening and welcome!

    This GIS contraption is a lot harder to stump than I would have imagined, I guess times have changed a bit since this thread's heyday. While I can of course appreciate that not everyone has the time, the inclination or the means to do it, converting the images into black and white seems to help. On the subject of the current screenshot, I'll take a stab at 'Science of Sleep'.

    D'oh!

    I guess this makes me a believer. If there's one thing I've learned over the course of this exhausting and relentlessly mental season of 2013/14, it's that predictions are a mug's game. Not that anyone (including Gus Poyet, I suspect) was actually predicting that Sunderland would be relegated, they were saying it as a point of fact and rightly so at the time. Indeed, the obituary I wrote for our Premier League status in this very thread not four weeks ago can still be found with only two clicks of a mouse. Now, we've secured safety with time to spare and in some style too, a magnificent run of five colossal results (at least three of which were completely mind-boggling) in as many games, and it's as if none of it even happened. A bit like when you come back home after a holiday and feel like you've never been away. In spite of survival with this group of players, I don't think we should be fooled into believing that we can rely on the majority of them. More often than not over the last few seasons, they've been dreadful. To their huge credit, Poyet and his staff have created a platform, but they must work sensibly over the summer in order to build on it. I'll worry about that later though, first there's the small matter of all the usual showpiece finals and the World Cup to enjoy.

    Anyone been watching 'Live Another Day'? I was iffy at first, but having now seen the first two episodes, it's as if the show has never been away (except for the fact that Chloe seems to have transformed herself into Lisbeth Salander). Loved Stephen Fry’s turn as the British Prime Minister. Half David Cameron, half Boris Johnson. Still get a kick out of hearing the clock, too. Plus, Yvonne Strahovski.
